Survivors of harrowing life-and-death situations relive their terrifying experiences in this addictive, thrilling series. From a father forced to abandon his son in a hidden cave to a crew of inexperienced sailors struggling to survive in shark-infested waters, these are ordinary people pushed to the limits of human endurance. Under the same circumstances, would you have the raw courage, the nerves of steel, the sheer luck required to make it out alive? (official distributor synopsis)

I have only seen the first episode about the group of five castaways on a small boat in the middle of the ocean, and that was enough for me. The series has great potential based on an attractive theme and a strong story. However, it is too vulgar and based on the most clichéd production techniques used by commercial stations. We get to watch a staged "reconstruction" interspersed with statements from surviving participants of the voyage. The manipulation of the viewer is too evident; it is presented as a show. Such a thing is suitable for a commercial television program after ten o'clock and not for prime time on a public television station. I understand that the survivors wanted to make some money out of their ordeal, but it is done so insensitively even considering the victims that I almost wished on them their suffering on the boat. Overall impression: 25%.
